Going West Print

“In my work I enjoy expressing spontaneity and randomness with line and color, this gives the paintings a type of freedom and ease that contrasts the deeper voices of the subject matter, the story behind. So at the end, my art is about life itself, a struggle between the yin and yang, the laughter and the seriousness of being alive.“ Zamarrón is a graphic artist whose work has been presented in different media: internet, television, video, print, as well as art galleries.
